Poonian by Himmat Sandhu, IKKY

Poonian arrived from the Poonian album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2024. Credit goes to Himmat Singh for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Every line Himmat Sandhu, IKKY sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. For fans of a talented ensemble cast, Poonian is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

2024 marked the release of Poonian, and Poonian was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Some music is background. Poonian demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

The concision of Poonian — just 2:52 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. The staying power of Poonian is not a mystery. It is just what happens when every element of a song is exactly right.
